CroftFest, organized by best friend Scott Cooper, will celebrate the life of Ben Croft, raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy UK, and feature live music and local stalls.
Lincoln Music Festival Honors Best Friend's Memory
On Saturday 6 September, a music festival will take place at The Drill in Lincoln, organized to honor the memory of Ben Croft. The festival, known as CroftFest, is a tribute to Ben, a music enthusiast who passed away in November 2024. All proceeds from the event will be donated to Muscular Dystrophy UK, Ben's chosen charity.
A Musical Tribute
CroftFest will feature live music performances from metal and punk bands, along with local stalls, food vendors, merchandise, and prizes. The main aim of the festival is to celebrate Ben's life and passion for music while raising awareness and funds for a noble cause.
A Lasting Legacy
Ben's best friend, Scott Cooper, who is spearheading the event, shared that Ben's love for music inspired the festival concept. Despite Ben's struggle with muscular dystrophy, he never let it hinder his love for music and his active participation in the industry. CroftFest aims to continue Ben's legacy and support others facing similar challenges.
Supporting Muscular Dystrophy Research
Scott's vision of hosting an annual music festival in Ben's memory is fueled by the desire to raise awareness about muscular dystrophy and contribute to ongoing research efforts. The event will not only celebrate Ben's life but also serve as a platform to advocate for and support individuals living with muscle-wasting conditions.
Ending with a message of hope and unity, Scott expressed his anticipation of a successful event with a turnout of 500 attendees celebrating Ben's life and contributing to a significant cause. To learn more about CroftFest and book tickets, visit CroftFest Official Website.
